THE OPPORTUNITY

Joining this successful independent agency group, led by several impressive senior leaders from big agency networks such as WPP, Omnicom and Publicis, you’ll experience less politics, a slicker and more decisive culture, as well as reams of opportunity to carve your own career path as this data function embarks on an ambitious journey of growth.

You will work in partnership with the Head of Data Strategy, to devise and deliver insight and data led solutions for end clients, around personalisation, CRM targeting, measurement and optimisation across multichannel marketing (including digital media).

You will be given two reports, one a media analyst, the other a strategic insights analyst, who will help you with the technical ins and outs of propensity modelling and using data to understand customer journeys, with you fronting these projects with clients.

You will then take those insights and turn it into compelling stories to present back to clients.

The CDO has ambitious plans to step change the delivery of the entire data function. Bringing it in line with modern data science environments, creating a global centre for innovation. So, you have a rare opportunity to join at a time where these changes are taking shape.
